Hypnosis can be applied to many psychological, emotional and physical disorders. Many people use it to relieve pain in surgery and dentistry and it has proved to be of benefit to women who are going through pregnancy and childbirth. It can shorten the delivery stage of labour and reduce the need for painkillers. Hypnosis is a good method of pain relief for disabled people and those facing terminal illness.  For many years now, hypnosis has proven to be extremely effective at helping people overcome addictions such as smoking, alcoholism and drugs.

Research has shown that most children are generally easier to hypnotise and can be helped with sleepwalking, bedwetting and chronic asthma.  Hypnosis can help teenagers to overcome stammering and depression which can be common as they reach adulthood.

Other common problems which a lot of people face, such as phobias, can be cured through hypnotherapy.  Anyone suffering from panic attacks or OBC (obsessional compulsive behaviour) and stress-related problems like insomnia, should benefit from hypnosis. Common conditions brought on by tension, such as IBS (irritable bowel syndrome), psoriasis, eczema and excessive sweating, respond well and can be treated by these techniques.
